‘There’s still new little kids wearing ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ stuff’ Disney When someone like Henry Selick talks, you listen. It’s as simple as that. During a set visit for “Wendell & Wild,” the director spoke matter-of-factly and with no malice about receiving the short end of the stick when it came to reaping the rewards of the success of “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Even at the best of times, working in filmmaking can be a thankless job, to say nothing of doing so in the horror field and especially in stop-motion animation....

Reese Witherspoon has boarded The Devil’s Knot, based on reporter Mara Leveritt’s 2003 nonfiction book which chronicled the 1994 trials that put two teenagers in prison for life and another on death row for the murder of three eight-year-old boys, despite a lack of physical evidence....
Calling in a few favors Prime Video Ron Howard had a few favors he was able to call in. Just prior to production on “Thirteen Lives,” Howard had made the 2020 National Geographic documentaries “Rebuilding Paradise,” about the aftermath of the horrendous wildfires in Paradise, California, and 2022’s “We Feed People,” about chef José Andrés and the World Central Kitchen’s efforts to bring food to disaster-stricken areas. The people at National Geographic had, evidently, recorded information on the Tham Luong caves that Howard wanted to use in creating an accurate map, hoping to replicate the exact geography of the cave:...
The Addams Family Films, Ranked Paramount By Eric Langberg/Sept. 6, 2022 11:57 am EST The Addams Family’s history began in 1938 when cartoonist Charles Addams first drew the eccentric (and then-nameless) characters in a series of cartoons for The New Yorker. In the 1960s, “The Addams Family” television show cemented the iconic characters’ influence on pop culture. Whether or not they directly inspired their competitors like “The Munsters,” the titular family and their ooky-spooky-kooky theme song have been inescapable ever since....
The Best Action Movies Of 2022, Ranked Variance Films By Lyvie Scott/Dec. 21, 2022 12:00 pm EST It’s been a rough couple of years at the movies, but if 2022 proved anything, it’s that capital-C Cinema still stands a chance. The blockbuster came back in a major way this year — and not just for the tried-and-true Marvel Cinematic Universe. 2022 was, for better or worse, the year of the spectacle: big budgets, big effects and even bigger risk....
The Menu Director Mark Mylod And Producer Betsy Koch On Crafting Their Tasty New Thriller [Exclusive Interview] Searchlight Pictures By Ryan Scott/Nov. 16, 2022 9:00 am EST 20th Century Studios has been low-key delivering some of the most consistent genre entertainment over the last several years. “Ready or Not,” “Barbarian,” “No Exit,” and “Prey” all serve as excellent examples. Oddly enough, this has all coincided with Disney’s purchase of Fox, even though many of the movies in question were in the works before that deal took place....
The Real Writer Of The Magnificent Seven Didn’t Get The Credit He Deserved United Artists By Demetra Nikolakakis/Oct. 19, 2022 11:50 am EST When it comes to dividing the credit for collaborative work, nothing is ever straightforward. Some people might be determined to claim as much credit as possible, while others are more relaxed about the whole ordeal — just look at James Cameron, who provided some guidance on the recent Terminator movies but didn’t receive any credit....
Tim Curry is iffy on the glam makeup 20th Century Studios “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is based on the stage musical penned by Richard O’Brien, who also co-wrote the screenplay. Tim Curry first portrayed Dr. Frank-N-Furter during 1973 through 1974 productions of the play in London and Los Angeles before reprising the role in the feature film adaptation. For the movie, the producers hired Pierre Laroche, the makeup artist who worked for David Bowie and Mick Jagger and helped pioneer the androgynous glam rock look, to transform Curry into the future horror/musical icon....
Year Of The Vampire: 20 More 20th-Century Films To Quench Your Thirst For Blood MGM By Joshua Meyer/Nov. 5, 2022 9:00 am EST (Welcome to Year of the Vampire, a series examining the greatest, strangest, and sometimes overlooked vampire movies of all time in honor of “Nosferatu,” which turns 100 this year.) Vampires may be fundamentally incapable of self-reflection (seeing as how they don’t show up in mirrors and all), but that doesn’t mean we can’t reflect on them....
You Probably Didn’t Recognize The Original Halloween’s Michael Myers Making A Cameo In Halloween Ends Universal Pictures By Miyako Pleines/Oct. 17, 2022 3:35 pm EST It’s a well known fact that the original “Halloween,” refers to Michael Myers as “The Shape” in the movie’s end credits. It’s a fitting description for the character who never utters a single word throughout the entire film. Instead, he lurks in the shadows, kitchen knife in hand, waiting for the right moment to strike....
